Physiological Adaptations to Simulated Intermittent Altitude on Human Health and Performance

Official Title

Investigation of Physiological Adaptations to Simulated Intermittent Altitude on Human Health and Performance

Brief Summary

      The investigators expect to find that different intensity and altitude exposure levels will
      show what kind of intermittent exposure protocol is more beneficial to athletes and healthy
      individuals that experience acute exposure to altitude during exercise. This may furthermore
      be related to acute altitude exposure for recreational exercise use as well.

Study Type

Interventional

Primary Outcome

Change in hemoglobin

Secondary Outcome

 Change in peak VO2

Condition

Altitude Hypoxia

Intervention

Simulated altitude

Study Arms / Comparison Groups

 Effect of heart rate training in simulated altitude
Description:  Participants will exercise in simulated altitude start at a minimum of 2,000ft and will increase to no greater than 16,400ft with each visit. The increase will be in accordance to maintaining >65% max heart rate during room air based maximal peak work.
